CHAPTER 107
Tap! Tap! Tap!Hurried footsteps sounded through the darkness, echoing loudly. They were moving too fast—way faster than an average human.Dark silhouettes could be seen running on the roofs of apartments. They were moving with so much fluidity. They almost seemed like the wind, blending with the shadows.The moon was shining very brightly, its radiance illuminating the world below. Except for the vehicles moving several feet below the apartments, there was silence. Not one person could be seen anywhere. Except of course for the silhouettes.They were six in number, all dressed in black outfits. They wore masks across their faces, katanas strapped to their backs. Their feet were cladded in boots which surprisingly turned out to be too light for them. One wouldn't be able to move so fluidly with these boots.One of these figures cladded in ninja outfits was running ahead of the group. There was a black object which he was holding. It was placed in a small leather pouch so one couldn't
CHAPTER 106
It hurts so badly...My mind hurts so badly...Jeffery regained his senses and found himself still standing in the alchemy room. The Philosopher's Stone was still in his hands. Although it was no longer shining brightly, it was still brimming with the mysterious essence."What was it called again?" he asked himself as he took a laboured breath.He was still recovering from the amount of knowledge that had been implanted into his mind by his predecessor, Lukas Flamel. It was a lot and his mind was currently in a daze. It was going to take some time for him to fully recover.Weakly he placed the Philosopher's Stone back in the compartment and pushed it to its right position. Experimenting on the stone was now out of question. He wasn't strong enough to do anything at the moment.After closing the compartment in the wall he turned around and let out a deep sigh. The Philosopher's Stone was still as mysterious as ever. But at least he had gotten something from it today.Other days he woul
CHAPTER 105
"Qi is the life force or spiritual energy that flows through all living things and the universe...""Meridians are invisible pathways in the body through which Qi flows...""The Dantian is the central energy reservoir located in the lower abdomen..."An ethereal voice filled Jeffery's ears, endowing him with more knowledge about alchemy. Several things which he didn't yet understood were instantly made clear to him.During that moment he felt that he was almost close to breakthrough. With enough training and cultivation he would be able to advance from the advanced level. He would be able to make a major breakthrough to become a master alchemist.But right now that didn't seem to matter. This was because Jeffery was no longer standing in the alchemy room. He didn't even seem to be in the physical world.He was currently floating in space—or what seemed like space. There were several resplendent stars all around him, each of them possessing a mysterious essence. It was the same essence
CHAPTER 104
The Captain's cunning smile was enough to send red signals into Jeffery's mind. He didn't need any other sign to know that there was something obviously off about the man.The way Captain Daniel had spoken to him about the Prescott family—the way he had warned him. It was obviously not something an ordinary police captain would say. Perhaps he was deeply affiliated with the Prescott family.But that doesn't give him the right to make that statement to me, Jeffery thought to himself. Why would he tell me that I won't always have the protection of the Stirling family?By now Daniel has averted his gaze and was busy doing something else. It seemed as if the small altercation just now had happened within Jeffery's mind. As if it was his hallucination.But Jeffery knew what he saw. And he was not going to forget that. He was going to get the female detective to investigate this police captain. He was now on his list of potential suspects.That detective told me she's going to give me resul
CHAPTER 103
Jeffery waited for a long period of time, his eyes fixed on the cops and journalists. But even after two hours they didn't leave the mansion. Perhaps this was the disadvantage of being the top wealthiest family in the entire city.He soon grew tired of waiting and signalled to Kimiko that he would be leaving. His apprentice, who was also been interviewed by the journalists, quickly excused himself.If he had been someone like Rita they wouldn't have let him off easily. They would have crowded him, engulfing him in floods of cameras and microphones.But he wasn't as influential as Rita. Although he was a well known martial artist, his came was nowhere close to any member of the Stirling family.So the journalists easily let him go and redirected their focus to other bodyguards who were around. Perhaps they thought he was a bodyguard as well.He jogged towards Jeffery before stopping shortly in front of him. He then scratched his head and asked, "Where to, Boss?""I'm going to my alchem
CHAPTER 102
Jeffery stood far away from the commotion, watching with everything with an expressionless face. The cops were still around—focused on their investigations.Seeing them crowded in the Stirling Mansion made him seeth with disgust. He had never liked them or any law enforcement agency. He believed they were all twisted individuals who only cared about themselves.The government was already corrupted and there was no reverse to it. Degeneration had sunken greatly into its core. The only thing that could save it was having a new one enacted.The sirens were still wailing noisy, disturbing his peace. There were even vehicles belonging to the press zooming into the premises. The overzealous journalists didn't hesitate to leap out of these vehicles with enthusiasm. Their faces beamed with joy as they approached anyone they saw."Everyone of them is very pretentious," Jeffery muttered to himself.He knew very well that if the Stirling family had been another poor family out there, the police
